A True Story of a Wizard's Life

Gabriel doesn't know where Sherlock is now.

After the successive deaths of Mycroft, Watson, and Mrs. Hudson, Sherlock finally chose to leave London.That was one day, he found that the fog in London, the foggy city, was getting thicker and thicker. This thick fog seemed to penetrate into his rational brain from the air, corrode his original rational brain, and make it cloudy.

It turns out that Sherlock can outline the distribution of London's streets with his eyes closed, but he never thought that one day London would suddenly become strange. This is no longer his London, and familiar people disappeared one by one, just like Sherlock also No longer a human, but a vampire.

Sherlock wrote this subtle emotional change in a letter, which he left for Gabriel, although Gabriel didn't know when he would see it.He knew that Gabriel had gone to another time and space, but he also believed that Gabriel would come back one day. At that time, perhaps this stubborn determination became the last straw that prompted him to voluntarily transform into a vampire.Who makes those who stay behind always have unfulfilled wishes.

It's just that it is more difficult for Sherlock than he imagined from becoming a blood race to adapting to this new identity.He sent off one acquaintance after another in London, as if cutting out from his flesh and blood the part of him that was once human.This feeling didn't fade away with the passage of time, but became more and more profound.

When wars started among Muggles in continental Europe, Kevin received a letter of appointment from across the ocean. The American School of Magic made a rare new attempt, inviting vampires to be professors.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sherlock went to America with Kevin. Sherlock nominally served as Kevin's teaching assistant, allowing him to take this opportunity to enter the magic school. This is a very interesting thing for Sherlock. Finally, I was able to watch the systematic magic teaching up close.

Beginning to learn new, interesting and challenging knowledge, which may ease the deep pain that has never been hidden in the London fog, although Sherlock has never personally acknowledged the death of those relatives and friends. sorrow.

Snape learned from Bock that in the first few years when Kevin was teaching at the American School of Magic, Kevin and Sherlock would send letters back every year to ask if Gabriel had returned, but four years ago Kevin resigned from the American School of Magic. He and Sherlock traveled somewhere, and they lost contact with the British side.

Kevin expressed a meaning in his last letter. As a new vampire, Sherlock has adapted well to his new identity. Sherlock has made great progress in magic, but he has not learned an important thing that vampires must know. Skills - How to get a good night's sleep.

You must know that vampires who are not dead or alive need to learn to sleep with selflessness in order to enjoy life better.As Sherlock's guide, Kevin wants to find a cold and dark forest to help Sherlock learn this skill, so when he will come back is uncertain.

Gabriel regretted not being able to see Sherlock right away, but the magical world is full of various uncertain factors, and the more in-depth contact with magic, the higher the probability of such uncertainties. It taught wizards Learn to be patient, and maybe every good wizard eventually becomes a very tolerant person.The separation time between her and Sherlock may not be too short, all she can do is to wait patiently, which is also a test of patience and longing.

But before that, Gabriel had to learn to endure Tom's daily cries.

Tom is a toddler with strong vitality. He was born in the snow and was very cold. But after eating and drinking for a month, he is no longer weak at first. Instead, he is full of energy every day. The details can be seen from his It can be seen from the crying and magic fluctuations.

"I used to think that my patience was good enough, but now I know that everything can be challenged to the limit. Raising a child is the best way to challenge the limit."

After Gabriel and Snape confirmed that no one could help them in the past few months, they first rented an independent courtyard in the suburbs of London to live temporarily. The place is relatively sparsely populated, and no one came to disturb them. The image of the couple with their children but unwilling to interact with their neighbors allowed them to settle down for the time being.

Snape carefully studied the novice parent's handbook that St. Mungo's gave away for free, and then began to practice it on Tom.In the practice of raising children, he has done much better than Gabriel, and he can fully deserve the title of daddy, although it was not his wish to get this title at the beginning.

It is said that in family life, the relationship between a husband and wife is like a balance, but this balance will not reach an absolute balance, and there will always be one who pays more.Although Gabriel and Snape did not have this kind of relationship, in the past few months, their way of getting along has moved closer to this direction.

Gabriel thinks that Snape is doing too much work for those who are capable, who makes her really bad at taking care of babies. Babies are very fragile and unreasonable creatures, and they cannot use any violent means.Her cold air on Tom sometimes made him stop crying in fear, and sometimes it made him cry harder.She wondered how Snape had managed to get Tom to behave like this.

That night, Tom started crying again, Snape got up from the bed, and started feeding and changing diapers very skillfully, and then quickly coaxed Tom back to sleep peacefully.Gabriel started to deal with the soiled diaper, and she sincerely praised Snape for his skillful hand, "I think you will be a good father."

Gabriel didn't mean what he said, but this was the first time Snape heard such an evaluation.

Good father?This is an unfamiliar word.He himself has never experienced the feeling that a good father brings to his children, and he has never dared to imagine that he can do it.

Therefore, Snape was stunned for a moment by holding Tom. He put Tom on the crib first, and then looked back at Gabriel who was cleaning up the diaper many times.

The candles in the big room were dimly lit, and the flickering candlelight shone on Gabriel's face, which made Snape feel that Gabriel's expression was more gentle in the dim candlelight, but he didn't know that he The look is more gentle.

These days, Snape could feel that his relationship with Gabriel had become a little weird because of the unexpected addition of Tom.

Babies cannot live without human care, and Tom is a bit clingy. He always hopes to have someone by his side, otherwise his little body will start to radiate magical fluctuations at will, messing up the pillows and quilts in the room.In this way, one of them had to watch Tom during the day, and it was almost impossible to conduct magic research experiments alone.

Gabriel upholds the principle of fairness. Although she cannot take good care of Tom, since she also wants to raise Tom, she cannot use poor care to escape her due responsibilities. So when it was her turn to take care of Tom, I will never use the fact that the experiment is busy to escape.It's just that sometimes Snape has to be able to calm the crying Tom, which makes Snape, who is making potions, have to leave the cauldron.

This also made the two of them give up their plans to conduct complex experiments during this period, and stayed with Tom as much as possible, and this mode of getting along continued from day to night.Gabriel felt that Snape couldn't be left alone to take care of Tom at night, and it would be nice if she could help.

So they put three beds in a big room, and it can be said that they get along with each other every day, and the two of them got used to each other's temperament without knowing when.

Subtle changes are the least noticeable.

Gabriel never thought that she could live like this, living an ordinary and ordinary life. What worries her every day is no longer that the magical elements in this world will run out one day, but how to watch Tom grow up from a small group day by day. big.

This distant life with a sense of urgency and crisis is very strange, and the strangeness makes Gabriel feel a little uneasy and panic, but Snape who is by his side at this time makes Gabriel relax again, as if this kind of Ordinary life is a matter of course, she has never experienced it before, and she has never yearned for it, but when she experienced it herself, she still adapted and got used to it.

Habit is a terrible existence, and it will never change just one person.

Gabriel never thought that he could live like this, and Snape also felt that his life in the past few months had calmed down. It was something he might have longed for but never expected to experience, like a family of three. Together, it's as if everything is real.

Snape had never imagined that he could become a father before, but who knew that he gradually learned how to be a father without knowing it.Among them, he is willing to take care of Tom, but the root of creating this family atmosphere is not just an extra child, but an extra woman who makes him willing to be gentle.

Now, when Snape heard Gabriel say that he would be a good father, the title hit Snape's heart directly.

Snape subconsciously had only one thought, if he could be a good father, it was because he finally found the right person, his child had a good mother, and this person was close at hand.

In the dim candlelight, in this rare comfortable and warm atmosphere, Snape almost blurted out without thinking, "A child can have a good father because he also has a good mother. A father can provide for the child The best thing he did, was love his mother, and vice versa. What do you think, Gal?"

If you think I can be a good father, are you willing to be a good mother, my wife?

This problem came out of nowhere!

Gabriel's hand holding the diaper trembled slightly, not quite understanding why her casual compliment would bring up the topic.

This seems to be a bit far-fetched, and many things cannot be considered divergently.While it has looked like Tom is their adopted son and they've become Tom's adoptive parents for months, that doesn't mean they're going to be a loving couple.

Gabriel folded the clean diaper in his hand and put it away skillfully without a single pause, as if unaffected by this sentence.It's just that when Gabriel finished what she was doing and was facing Snape, her face was a little red in the dim candlelight.

Gabriel understood what Snape meant. The fundamental reason why Snape was a good father was that he could have a loving wife. The answer was so obvious who he wanted a wife, but it couldn't be wishful thinking choose.

"I admit that in general a loving relationship is good for a child's development, but our situation is different now, so you don't have to stretch it too much."

After hearing this, Snape's expression remained unchanged, but he walked towards Gabriel without haste, leaving only an arm's distance between the two of them, and looked at Gabriel intently.

Snape knew in his heart that maybe the timing was not very good, but he didn't want to continue to suppress his feelings at this time. He was never more aware than now that his soul so longed for a place to settle down.

And after going around and going around, life and death, finally it was Merlin who blessed him to meet someone who could make him feel at ease and happy.

Gabriel is not a good person in the traditional sense, and she is not a perfect person. She even has some flaws in her character, which will require him to pay more in their relationship, but there is no need to worry too much about this.

After experiencing the ups and downs of fate, Snape changed a lot. He put away the sharp thorns on his body, and wanted to get close to the rare person he met.

In the chaos of time and space, their encounter was so accidental, it was really just Gabriel's inadvertent act when he was looking for the magic stone, which brought them to this time and space together.Snape knew that the probability was so low that it was almost a miracle, so he wanted to cherish it more and more, instead of letting go and missing it again.

Just please forgive him for becoming more greedy, he is not willing to just be by Gabriel's side silently, and he also hopes that this feeling can be responded to.

"Gal, I know you are right, but I want to give Tom a real home, not stop at the current model. Of course, this is not only for Tom, but mainly because of your existence, as smart as you, Can't you really feel my heart?"

Gabriel didn't expect the conversation to go to this extent, she really didn't dare to look into Snape's eyes, she didn't expect Snape to speak clearly, she thought they could maintain a certain state , without breaking a single boundary.

But at this moment, the emotion in Snape's eyes revealed a rare frankness. The deep and rich emotion seemed to have finally broken out because of an excuse, which made Gabriel's heart beat faster than when he violated the laws of the wizarding world. She was even more nervous when she was at the gate of a strange plane. In fact, she was either unprepared, or she hadn't thought about the moment when something really happened.

After all, Gabriel is not a character to avoid things, she still slowly raised her head and looked directly at Snape, "Severus, I think the comfortable environment may give people an illusion, making you think that this comfortable environment The state of life can go on forever. But you should understand that this ordinary life is only short-lived. We have obtained the original magic stone. We know that there will be great changes in the magic world in the future. I cannot promise you a simple and comfortable life .

I can't even guarantee that I will survive to the end safely, there are still so many unknowns and dangers.Sherlock said that love is an emotional matter, which is contradictory to what he thinks is the most important calm thinking, and losing rational judgment in troubled times is the most stupid behavior.If you're as smart as me, why would you do such a stupid thing? "

Snape met Gabriel's scorching gaze, and as they met, he was sure that Gabriel was not as smart as she thought, able to stubbornly hold on to her reason.Her heart has been shaken, and she has violated her original determination to move forward alone, as well as her ridiculous absolute reason.

Maybe even Gabriel didn't know when he accepted another person into her heart, and it would affect her choices and decisions.Even if this shaking is hidden a little deep, but love is a feeling that cannot be concealed, and it will always reveal clues.

Snape was only thankful that Gabriel hadn't practiced so well that he couldn't see any flaws in his acting skills, and still let him see the emotion hidden in her eyes.This allowed Snape to breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he might really not be able to bear the ruthlessness from the other party.

"I enjoy a rare, simple and comfortable life, but that's not what I want the most. The most important thing is that I long for someone who can make my heart settle down, and I'm lucky to meet you. This person is you."

Snape's voice was a little deep but he was very serious, "I am no longer young, and I have clearly determined what kind of life you are going to face. You like adventures, and you also enjoy challenging the abyss of magic. I am very clear about this. So please forget about Holmes' strange arguments. At this time, I would rather choose to agree with Dumbledore's words that love is the greatest power.

Although it comes from a Gryffindor, we occasionally affirm the wisdom of a Gryffindor.Even if the road ahead is slow, I don't need you to promise forever.What you can't promise, I can bring you to do it together, so can't you admit the fact that you are so rare and stupid? "

Listening to Snape's words, Gabriel raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously.

The conversation tonight came a little suddenly, and she could obviously continue to be stubborn at this time. After all, love does not have to be love, and there is nothing wrong with staying in the position of friendship.They can support each other without abdicating reason from the throne of the brain.

However, under Snape's hopeful eyes, Gabriel finally chose to let her reason take a step back, maybe her heart had already taken a lot of steps back.She has been lonely for too long, and her hometown has long since disappeared. No matter how firm her determination is, the loneliness of wandering will only become stronger and stronger. The warmth she received, so she did not have the choice to escape from mortals.

"So you want me to admit that I've finally become a Gryffindor, and rejoice in my hopelessly acquired foolish wisdom?"

Snape nodded in agreement, "Isn't this bad? I think this kind of stupid wisdom is not easy to come by. There are a few people who have the opportunity to gain stupid wisdom through the world of the undead. It deserves to be cared for and kept. I think as long as The soul is immortal, I will only be stupid this time."

Gabriel found that she almost laughed out loud at this stupid wisdom. Once she accepted this stupid wisdom, her whole being was fooled by it and softened. , to officially announce the welcome of another person.

Foolish wisdom, the love it represented was a luxury Gabriel hadn't conceived before, and if Snape was missed, she didn't think she would ever have again.

Now that she's met, there's nothing wrong with letting her have the Gryffindor courage to admit it once in a while.This is what Ravenclaw cannot do in pursuit of higher freedom. Gabriel seems to understand another expectation of the Sorting Hat to assign her to Gryffindor.

Gabriel's voice was softer but with a kind of firmness, "I am willing and will only be stupid once, this time is enough. After all, I only want to be a smart person, but people always make an exception once It’s because of Time and Space Chaos that I met someone who is willing to make an exception for him.”

It was only at this point in the conversation that Snape's hanging heart finally fell, and he realized that his hands had already been clenched nervously, and he was even slightly sweating.He hadn't shown such emotions for too many years. He thought he could hide any emotions long ago, but in fact, he didn't meet the person who made him lose control again.

Now that the emotions have been exposed, it is better to be more direct.

Snape took a step forward so that there was no extra distance between him and Gabriel, and then he leaned down and kissed Gabriel's lips.

Gabriel suddenly felt her mouth warm up, and the tip of her nose was instantly filled with a bitter potion smell from Snape, which made Gabriel a little stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect that Snape would Kissing directly, she thought it was very out of Snape's character, shouldn't the relationship between them be more gradual?

This kiss was completely different from the kiss that Snape landed on her forehead when they used the magic stone to cross space. It was no longer vaguely elusive, but real with warmth, but it made Gabriel I can't even think about it.

Sure enough, it was the reaction of stupid love.It blanks the mind and makes a person lose rational judgment.

However, it is not just one person who loses his mind.

Snape was just impulsive at first, he just wanted to touch it lightly, but when his lips met, he found a desire to start a fire from the bottom of his heart, it was dead but was reborn, after experiencing After death to life, he has been suppressed for too long, and now it is beyond reason to restrain him.

Snape hugged Gabriel, put his hands around her waist, his movements were a little jerky but he focused on deepening the kiss, which continued cautiously but very forcefully.

Gabriel originally wanted to break away from Snape's tightened arms, but her reaction was obviously a little slow, and she finally didn't struggle, as if she really wanted to let go, she took out the courage that belonged to Gryffindor, and began to respond started this kiss.

As a result, both of them stopped for some reason, and when Gabriel came to his senses, she was already leaning tightly into Snape's arms.Snape lightly stroked Gabriel's long hair, neither of them said anything more, they were both feeling the tenderness of this moment.

Then it was Gabriel who broke the silence first, "It's getting late now, let's rest. I don't know when Tom will wake up again. It would be nice to have a house elf so that he can sleep peacefully at night." Some."

Snape, however, was a little reluctant to let go of Gabriel. He always felt that it was hard for him to hug Gabriel openly. It would be nice if he could get closer for a while.

In fact, their two beds are not too far apart. After all, they are in the same room, no matter how far away they can be, but right now he only hopes that they will not be separated. Unfortunately, after returning to the cage, it is impossible to propose to sleep together requirements.That's really fast.

In fact, he really doesn't mind being rational and running away from home for a while.

But since his sanity could not be lost for a while, Snape could only divert his thoughts and start thinking about his future life.Dumbledore will be back in a few days, so finally someone can help them take care of Tom. Presumably Dumbledore will not refuse, and Snape will not give Dumbledore a chance to refuse.

After all, Snape and Gabriel had a lot of things to deal with, and they had been delayed for several months to wait for a reliable babysitter, so they couldn't procrastinate indefinitely.

"I think Dumbledore can help you with this idea. Hogwarts has house elves. If he is willing to live with Tom for a while while teaching at school, then Tom can also enjoy the care of house elves. I Hope Tom likes Dumbledore."

Gabriel believes that Dumbledore's parenting skills have been practiced by his younger brother and sister, but she has reservations about the fate between people. Before they meet, she can't be sure that Dumbledore will definitely Meet Tom.

"Although from a certain logical inference point of view, if Tom doesn't like Dumbledore's temper, he should be able to adapt to Grindelwald's character. Or, as long as Tom has someone by his side, he can satisfy the sense of security he needs? He He is only six months old, and perhaps the most intuitive feeling is the sense of good and evil exuded by the people around him? It should not be difficult to find a suitable person to help take care of Tom."

A week later, Gabriel got the answer. The long-lost Dumbledore and Grindelwald, as well as a big black dog that Gabriel had forgotten, finally came to the door after their long journey.

Gabriel opened the door and saw two people and a dog, and she finally remembered that the space coordinates left in Sirius' soul would make it possible for him to remain in the form of Animagus and fail to successfully transform back into a human.Gabriel showed her superb acting skills at this time, and did not show any guilt, and lifted the spatial coordinate positioning when stroking the black dog's head.

Sirius was actually very excited when he saw Gabriel, he finally saw an acquaintance.

This feeling is really strange. He should have been extremely excited when he saw Dumbledore after wandering on the streets of London, but he was confused by the fact that Dumbledore and Grindelwald were actually a couple after all these years of excitement. .But the helpless thing is that he can't change back to his human form, and he has nowhere to go, so he can only travel around the world with Dumbledore and Grindelwald.Watching the two show their affection every day, as a veritable single dog, the hurt Sirius suffered can no longer be expressed in words.

This cruel fact made Sirius realize very clearly that this Dumbledore was the Dumbledore he knew, but it was thousands of miles away.

In the time of infinite suffering, Sirius actually began to miss Snape and Gabriel. He is really not too strong a single dog. In this chaotic time and space, he wants to meet the real familiar people.This kind of nostalgia and expectation made him fall into infinite self-contempt.

"I finally see you again!" Sirius saw Gabriel who opened the door. He didn't expect his excitement to be so sincere that he could break through and transform back into a human!

Dumbledore has made inferences before, and there are many theories. In a word, the fundamental reason why Animagus failed to transform back into a human is that the shapeshifter himself does not have a subconscious mind that wants to transform back.

Sirius doubted himself, he didn't belong to this time and space enough, which made him unable to relieve the state of the big dog.Unexpectedly, it finally changed back now, which gave Sirius an even more reason to be excited.

So Sirius was almost excited to give Gabriel a big hug, completely forgetting that Gabriel had looked at him with the eyes of an experimental product.

However, this hug was blocked by Snape who came out of the room, and then Sirius didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he took advantage of the opportunity to give Snape a long-lost reunion hug.

Obviously, Snape didn't like Sirius' embrace at all.He frowned and snorted coldly, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and your brain is finally broken. I'm still very happy about that."

Sirius has always had a thick skin, and after being forced to accept the show of affection unilaterally in these years, it has reached a weird state. "Oh, Snape, please don't say anything. How many years has it taken for this hug between us to be completed. It can be said to be the long-lost peace between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Don't you have a little bit of it?" Are you happy? Do you expect another Gryffindor to give you such a sincere hug?"

Snape didn't care about the hug from Sirius, the Gryffindor. If he was looking forward to the hug from Gryffindor, he only hoped to spend more time with Gabriel.There was one more Gryffindor, and he felt it was redundant.

But before Snape could say anything, Sirius seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. He stared at Tom who was waving his little hand in the hall with his eyes wide open.He seemed to suddenly realize one thing, he wanted to stay away from the showy love between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, but it was also possible that once he transformed back into a human, he would usher in another wave of showy love.

Could it be that he was the only one who had become a single dog during the years of separation, and Snape and Gabriel, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, already had children!

This is just too overwhelming.This made Sirius, who had just turned back into a human, a bit unbearable. Can he choose to turn back into Jingjing again?What a cruel joke fate had played on him.Forgive his small brain capacity as a dog in those years, thinking that Snape and Gabriel were the only ones who really knew him, but forgetting the fact that they most likely didn't miss him at all.

"It's too soon for you to even have children. Snape, honestly, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. What did Merlin do to you, and what did he do to me?" .Obviously we left that ghostly place together, and Merlin is too eccentric!"

Gabriel felt that Sirius obviously needed to be remade, and the journey to the world of the dead had made his already meager IQ drop even lower.Tom didn't look like her and Snape's child in any way, and there was no similarity in appearance.

Obviously, Grindelwald has a very clear understanding of this, and he asked directly, "Where did you adopt this child? He looks pretty."

Dumbledore also moved closer to Tom, and saw some saliva dripping from the corner of Tom's mouth. Tom's image as a child was somewhat damaged, but he didn't hide the fact that Tom was beautiful.

"I didn't expect you to come back with a toddler. Please don't tell me that you have any intentions of letting the house-elf take care of the baby. That's why you told Bock to meet us as soon as we come back." The real reason."

Gabriel showed a sincere smile towards Dumbledore. It has to be said that talking to smart people is easy. After all these years, Dumbledore's IQ has not diminished. This is good news.

"A lot of things have happened in these years. We can slowly say that those things are a bit complicated, but the care of Tom right now does require some powerful foreign aid. Albus, I don't think you will refuse, right? Think of it as taking care of you and Getler's godson, what do you think?"

Dumbledore was a little hesitant. He really never thought about being the godfather of a child before, and of course he never thought about finding a fertility potion with Grindelwald and making a child.They had communicated and felt that the life of two people was enough.Gabriel's suggestion was a bit sudden, and he had never included it in his future life plan.

"Of course I can help take care of Tom. As for the godson, I have to think about it."

Grindelwald seemed a little interested, "In fact, there is nothing wrong with having multiple little guys in my life. I haven't experienced this feeling yet, and it would be nice to feel it."

After Gabriel raised this question, it seemed that he had solved a big problem. No matter what discussions between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the foreign aid to take care of Tom had been found.

"Then this matter is settled like this, and you can discuss the specific situation. This time we found the magic stone, and this matter really needs to be discussed in the long run."

Sirius on the side was very dissatisfied that he was ignored like this, why didn't he ask him!

Doesn't he look unreliable at all?Sirius looked at Tom secretly. At this time, he made a major decision. He must teach Tom himself, so that these self-proclaimed high IQ people understand what kind of childhood children need.

Tom laughed unconsciously, at the moment he had no idea what life was going to be like in the future.

At this time, Sherlock was sleeping in a forest somewhere in the American continent, and he didn't know when he would wake up from his first deep sleep as a vampire.

**

In September 1927, Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts to begin his coaching career.

Gabriel and Snape set out to acquire Hufflepuff's gold cup, hoping to get together the four relics left by the founder of Hogwarts.At the same time, research on the original magic stone is on the agenda, and the future is still unknown.

The greatest charm of magic lies in its unknownness, maybe it leads to light, maybe it leads to darkness. Fortunately, as a wizard, I can appreciate this unknown.

The author has something to say: finally the text is over.

The author is a little bit unlucky in the past few days. I have suffered a small hand injury in the past few days, and I can finally type again. I will release all the episodes as soon as possible.
